Act XXV. Animal World One

For the next ten days, it was business as usual.

The journey through the moors is lonely and long, but when you leave the Kuiper Wilderness and enter the Oort Wilderness, the scenery is very different.

A lot of green began to fill the field of vision, and most of the vehicles drove above the new green grass, and from time to time they would be surprised by a swarm of unknown insects, flying all over the sky.

In the distance, you can see a flock of countless birds flying in a certain pattern, they sweep through the meadows, mountains and forests, preying on those insects that have nowhere to escape, and are driven away by the larger birds of prey, forming a picture of the food chain.

"Mountains, mountains moving?"

Wilbur exclaimed as he drove the car as he looked at the slightly trembling mountains not far ahead.

"This is the Galapagos tortoise, a long-lived creature that often forms some unique ecological structure on their backs."

Bai Ge briefly introduced.

Actually, he heard it too.

"Uh-oh."

Wilbur didn't know if he understood it or not, so he nodded again and again.

Zhu Shuangluo sat in the back, looking seriously at the scene outside the car window, her eyes widened, looking at the slowly moving mountains, and the birds that were startled by it, but she really felt like she was watching a TV show.

As a child, he often stayed in front of the TV and watched the old-time documentaries on the TV channel on weekend afternoons, which were banned in the Lightless Era, because the upper class feared that ordinary civilians would despair after watching these old-time images, or rashly run out of the underground shelter to the dangerous wasteland.

Of course, by the time of the Quiet Era, the ban on these documentaries had been lifted, and in addition to becoming valuable materials for scholars to study the ecology of the old era, they also became a regular program on television.

However, the creatures of the old era are indeed very different from those of the present.

Zhu Shuang looked at the birds from a distance with his own eyesight, only to find that these birds had two pairs of wings, staggered flapping fans, and as for the Galapagos turtle with the size of a small mountain, it was a creature that could not be imagined in the old days.

Bai Ge's eyes were slightly closed, and he had gained a certain degree of fame on the night he unlocked the secrets of those stones' lives.

It is manifested in the slowing down of the restrictions on the use of the [Trojan Horse] of Reason, and at the same time, the speed of affecting other people's realms has become faster, and Bai Ge can more easily catch the loopholes of things, just like the things like the [Shadow Curtain] before? Bai Ge was already able to quickly see through its essence.

Reached the level of [Overlord's Egg]? The qualitative change brought about by the improvement of fame is smaller, and it is more of an all-round improvement? A little bit of these improvements? Eventually, it will become the ladder of the chain of ascension.

Bai Ge thinks, compared to when he was at a low level? Excited by his novel abilities, he now understands the power of abyssal relics and historical fragments more through what he sees and hears.

Eris civilization and stone life, two very different forms of civilization? They are all made by the influence of the power of historical fragments.

What is the essence of historical fragments? Why does it have such power.

Is our world more profoundly affected by the fragments of history than we imagined?

Since the realm of the ascended can reshape the basic laws of the world to a certain extent, then, this planet? Is it possible that the realm of an ascended person who has ascended to the gods has covered it?

Countless thoughts intertwined? Bai Ge rubbed his temples.

He still has too little information to speculate and only get caught up in the whirlpool of thinking.

More important than this kind of major event involving the world, or the immediate problem.

"Animal World......"

Bai Ge looked at the information on his phone from Coluva.

"[Animal World] has the appearance of an old-fashioned pocket watch, and its surface plating has fallen off and mottled? The pointer does not normally move. ”

"At the moment, there is only one senior operator who has direct contact with [Animal World]? All information and information about the Abyssal Relic comes from the survivor's description. ”

"He thinks this abyssal relic can change the form of existence of life? But because there was already a certain degree of problem with its spirit, MI5 was skeptical of its description. ”

Very simple information.

Bai Ge looked through the examination records of this senior operator in those appendices again? Due to the need for confidentiality? The operator was addressed as Tom.

Doctor: You've been showing a lot of abnormalities lately? Tom.

Tom: No, I'm not abnormal, doctor.

Doctor: But you've been showing a strong craving for raw meat lately, and you've been digging the floor after going to the toilet, which is something that only beasts do.

Tom: yes, I think it's all normal.

Doctor: What do you say about catching rats at night?

Tom: It's just normal entertainment, and I know these rats have eaten rat poison and it's poisonous.

Doctor: You've been sleeping longer lately, Tom, do you feel like you're getting closer to some kind of animal habits?

Tom: I'm not very clear about that.

Tom: I'm just a cat, after all.

Such information seems to imply that humans who have been in close contact with the [animal world], even if they have been upgraded, will be affected to change in the direction of animals, and will eventually consider themselves to be some kind of animal.

However, more experiments and research could not be carried out due to the loss of the Abyss Relic.

MI5 doesn't know what will happen to this abyssal relic when it is activated.

"More like some kind of psychic force?"

Bai Ge pondered.

At this time, Bai Ge, who felt something, looked ahead.

On the other side of the vast horizon, there seems to be a city.

"Are you at the supply station?"

Wilbur pondered.

Ten days had passed since they left the Kerris supply station, and according to the normal progress, they should have almost arrived at the first supply station in the wasteland, because the supply station here is located in the wasteland and has been isolated from the outside world for a long time, so the scale of these supply stations is very large, and some have even begun to take on the scale of cities, but there is no network, and there is a lack of resources that are common in civilized areas.

The supply depot in front of me, named Sedna, is a relatively safe supply depot in the Oort Field, and it is also one of the check-in points for this competition.

Flyer 1 galloped on the grass that didn't make up the road, and soon arrived at the city in sight.

Bai Ge is not in the top position, so theoretically, some of the contestants should have arrived here.

However, when he came to the door of the supply station, Bai Ge only felt silence.

"It's so quiet......"

He didn't see any other passers-by, he didn't hear the sound of cars, and the whole supply station was extremely quiet, as if it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

Bai Ge asked Wilbur to stop the car and took a hard look at the supply depot himself.

There are no anomalies.

Or rather, there is nothing anomalous beyond the surface.

After the activation of the Abyss Relic, it is possible to change the underlying laws of the world, forming a space similar to [Domain] in an area, and even if there is an abnormality in this space, it may not be possible to see it.

Just like under normal circumstances, the sum of the inner angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, but the influence of some fields will make this value 170 degrees, for reality, the triangle of the sum of the internal angles of 177 degrees is abnormal, but in the field, affected by the underlying law, the sum of the internal angles of 170 degrees has become "common sense".

In this case, even with the [Trojan Horse of Contrarian Reason], Bai Ge may not be able to detect subtle anomalies, of course, compared to before, his ability to investigate such things has been greatly improved, so he will detect incongruity at this distance.

"Frostfall, how do you feel?"

Bai Ge looked at the bamboo frost behind him.

"Well, there are a lot of pheromones intertwined, and it feels like there should be a lot of people inside."

Zhu Shuangluo said ignorantly, according to the information that her abilities brought her, this supply station should be normal, but the reality went against it, giving her an extremely strange feeling.

Bai Ge knew that now they had two choices.

One is to leave and go to another supply station, which will take another three to five days, depending on the situation, and the fuel you carry may not be able to support it, and at the same time, there is no guarantee that you will not encounter other accidents on the way.

Another option is to go inside and have a look.

The second means danger and, of course, opportunity.

If Bai Ge had only one person, he would have tried to explore it when he was ready, but now that there was Wilbur, an ordinary person, and most importantly, Bamboo Frost, Bai Ge had to be responsible for their safety.

While thinking, Bai Ge suddenly saw a figure flashing on the side of his vision.

It was a strangely shaped creature, with two legs that seemed to be strong and good at jumping, and its head was like that of a mouse, and its two paws in front of it were jumping towards the supply station.

What's even more strange is that this kangaroo is still wearing plain clothes and pants.

The slightly tight pants and clothes were bound to the brown fluff, which looked quite funny, like a funny character who came out of some circus.

"It's a kangaroo ......"

Bamboo Frost recognized it, it was a creature that only existed in the old days, and at this moment, the brown kangaroo was bouncing towards the supply station, as it should be.

The strange sight attracted the attention of the trio, but the kangaroo didn't seem to notice it and quickly disappeared inside the gate of the supply depot.

"It's ......"

Bai Ge felt a strong sense of crisis, and he had just tried to get Wilbur out of the area around the supply depot when he found that Wilbur, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was gone.

No, to be exact, Wilbur, who was human, was gone.

Today, sitting in the driver's seat is a big white bear.

The bear has soft hair, and is holding its two paws on the steering wheel, looking tame and cute.

He was still wearing Wilbur's clothes, just the right size, but he looked extremely strange.

“!”

Bai Ge was suddenly startled, and promptly suppressed his urge to take out an invisible dagger, and he asked.

"Wilbur?"

"What's the matter, Mr. Heinlein...... Wow!!? ”

The big white bear turned its head, its amber eyes looked at Bai Ge, and its mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed, making a Wilbur sound.

Bang –

The sound of fireworks exploding came from the supply station, and it could be seen that the salute was being fired, the lights were lit up, and the silence and tranquility before seemed to be an illusion, with all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, entering and exiting this supply station.

The shape of the entire depot has also changed, and the complex structure resembles a castle, towering and sharp.

The pedestrians on the road can see that although they are all wearing human clothes, their appearances have all turned into animals, and all kinds of creatures that Bai Ge recognizes and can't recognize are all well-dressed and interacting like humans.

It's like there's a big party going on.

“...... Is it the effect of the Abyss Relic? ”

Bai Ge muttered to himself, turned his head, and confirmed the condition of the bamboo frost behind him.

“......”

There is no change in the bamboo frost fall.

She is still a girl, and she has not changed at all.

"Is it pollution that only ordinary people will take effect?"

Bai Ge thought to himself.

Zhu Shuang looked at Wilbur in front of her blankly, and when her eyes turned, Bai Ge could see her appearance from her heterochromatic pupils.

"You !!"

Bamboo Frost showed an extremely surprised expression, and at the same time, Bai Ge also truly realized the seriousness of the problem.

“...... Now we're in big trouble. ”

The car window glass reflected Bai Ge's appearance.

His clothes were intact, but the weather-beaten face of Arthur Heinlein was gone, replaced by a beast with white hair and crimson eyes.

"Rabbit?"

Zhu Shuang tilted his head and looked at Bai Ge in disbelief.

Yes, Bai Ge has now turned into a rabbit in clothes, with his ears erected high, and he seems to be very unhappy in the small space in the car.

At the same time, Bai Ge could also feel that his hearing had become extremely acute, and his vision had also become much broader, and he could glimpse passers-by in the distance, but he couldn't see things too close.

Bai Ge raised his hand and looked at his furry paws, and couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

There is no doubt that they have been contaminated by the Abyssal Relic and affected by the laws of their [Domain].

"That's how the so-called transformation of life forms ......"

Bai Ge finally understood why the senior operator of MI5 had the perception that he was a cat.

Presumably, he was already contaminated when he came into contact with that abyssal relic, but this was not cognitive.

Instead, within the realm of the Abyss Relic, the operator mutated.

He had become a cat himself, and had spent some time in this form, so his perception had changed under the influence of the transcendent power of the fragments of history.

If there had been no interference from other external forces, perhaps the operator would have been in the form of a cat all along.

At this moment, Bai Ge, who had already turned into a rabbit, looked at the castle-like supply station in front of him.

He knew that he was already in the animal world.
